NEW: AI SEO Playbook
How to win visibility in AI search results
In early 2026, we were contacted by RTKdata, a real-time subscription-based satellite positioning corrections provider for drone mapping and land surveying. Its NTRIP subscription service delivers the data over the internet and covers more than 140 countries.
From April to September 2026, we saw monthly free-trial sign-ups from organic search grow from 53 to 132, a 149% increase. Monthly non-branded clicks also reached 3,343 in September, up from 161 in February.

RTKdata had already published pages for the regions it covered and the industries it served. However, as we checked which pages appeared in search results, we found that some were competing with other URLs on the same site.
Country and U.S. state pages shared an average of 95% of their content. Often, only the place name changed. The overlap left readers with little information specific to their area. For some commercial searches, RTKdata’s own blog posts ranked ahead of the industry pages that described the service.
To find the highest-ROI solutions, we started with a technical audit that included over 40 checks. We also reviewed each commercial page and compared the client’s backlink profile with those of five competitors.
We fixed all high- and medium-priority issues from the audit, including internal links that had passed through chains of 301 redirects. By redirecting legacy WooCommerce URLs and replacing the sitemap with two files listing valid URLs, we ensured visitors reach their destination in one hop.
We also excluded transactional subdomains from indexing and made the site’s trust pages eligible for indexing again. We also added structured data and restored English throughout pages for Brazil and Portugal.
We reviewed the U.S. state and country pages to see where search demand justified a dedicated page. The shared templates offered little detail for someone checking RTK coverage in a particular area.
On the pages we kept, we replaced that copy with location-specific information. For locations that didn’t have enough demand for a separate page, we consolidated them into corresponding national pages so buyers could check coverage there.
We narrowed 1,465 terms for a competitor keyword gap analysis to 426 across 17 topics. That research shaped briefs for industry pages such as Drones and Surveying. We rewrote those pages and updated their title tags and meta descriptions.
We added about three blog articles a month, each linking to the relevant industry page. Setup and integration guides already ranked for searches by receiver or drone model, so we gave each guide a distinct title tag and meta description, too.
We screened sites for relevance and existing traffic. Placements included drone and geospatial sites as well as publications covering precision agriculture and construction technology. Most links came from the U.S., Canadian, or EU sites.
We used more branded and service-specific anchor text to balance the heavy use of bare URLs. Links pointed to industry and pricing pages as well as the homepage. We monitored the backlink profile for spam and kept the disavow file up to date.
By September 2026, RTKdata was drawing more clicks from non-branded searches, with the Free Trial report also showing an increase in users from organic search.
Monthly non-branded clicks grew from 161 to 3,343 between February and September 2026.
Monthly Free Trial registrations coming from organic search rose from 53 in April to 132 in September 2026.
Of the 156 commercial keywords we tracked in the U.S. Google results with SE Ranking, 94 ranked in the top 10 in October 2026, up from 66 in April. Additionally, the number in the top 3 rose from 32 to 56 over the same period.
The site’s Domain Rating rose from 11 to 40 by October 202, reaching the tracked competitor range. Ahrefs reported a further increase to 42 in November.
